BrRN — Rede Brasileira de Reprodutibilidade
Overview
The Rede Brasileira de Reprodutibilidade (Brazilian Reproducibility Network, BrRN or RBR) is a multi-institutional, multidisciplinary network founded in 2023 to promote open and reproducible research practices across the Brazilian scientific community. It grew out of the 2018 Brazilian Reproducibility Initiative, a multicenter replication study of Brazilian biomedical experiments, and is modelled on the UK Reproducibility Network. The BrRN brings together groups, institutions, scientific societies, journals, ambassadors, and individual members distributed across Brazilian states, organising its work around four pillars of community, advocacy, education, and metascience. It is coordinated from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and funded principally by the Instituto Serrapilheira. As the Brazilian member of the international reproducibility-network movement, it produces position papers and recommendations that shape national open-science and research-assessment policy, including guidance for Brazilian journals and graduate-programme evaluation, extending open and reproducible neuroscience to a research community underrepresented in global open infrastructure.
